There are many ways to stop bleeding, for example, a hemostatic sponge has a good hemostatic effect. When using this tool, you must take into account existing indications and contraindications.

What is a hemostatic sponge?

A hemostatic sponge is an effective hemostatic agent that is widely used in various fields of medicine, in particular in dentistry after tooth extraction. It has sorbent and antiseptic properties, simultaneously stopping the bleeding and protecting the wound from getting into it pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the product promotes rapid healing of damaged socket tissue.

Varieties

In a routine procedure for removing a unit of dentition, a collagen hemostatic sponge is used to stop bleeding.

After surgery, when development is possible inflammatory process in the socket, doctors recommend the use of a special alveolar compress “Alvostaz”, which also has the shape of a sponge. It has hemostatic and antiseptic properties and is used for the prevention and treatment of alveolitis.

Release form

The hemostatic sponge is a pressed dark yellow powder with a mild odor. acetic acid. Sponges are produced in the form of square plates measuring 50x50 mm or 90x90 mm and have a dry porous elastic structure. At production, they are placed in tightly closed plastic bags, and then packed individually into cardboard packages.

The sponges absorb liquid well, while swelling slightly. They do not dissolve in cold water and organic substances, but are subject to partial dissolution in water having a temperature above 75 degrees. Pressed plates are made from a collagen solution obtained from the skin and tendons of large cattle. Substances such as nitrofural and boric acid.


One of the most effective is Alvostaz, which is packaged in plastic jars of 30 soaked medicinal solution hemostatic sponges measuring 1x1 cm. It is produced in 3 versions and contains eugenol, iodoform, thymol, lidocaine, tricalcium phosphate and propolis.

  • bleeding stop;
  • protecting the wound from the development of bacterial infection;
  • relief of foci of inflammation;
  • relief from painful sensations;
  • preventing swelling of the gum tissue;
  • accelerating the healing of the hole.

Complete restoration of damaged tissue occurs much faster than it would have been achieved without the use of a hemostatic sponge.

Instructions for using sponges in dentistry

Each product package contains detailed instructions on its use, which must be strictly followed to avoid complications. The use of a hemostatic sponge has its own nuances and features. A doctor should prescribe such drugs, taking into account contraindications and possible side effects.

Side effects

Using a hemostatic sponge after tooth extraction, like any other medication, may be associated with the development of an allergic reaction. To avoid this, before prescribing the drug, the doctor asks the patient about any cases of individual intolerance to any medicinal components. When using a hemostatic sponge, there is also a possibility of re-infection of the wound in the gum.

After removing the sponge from the bag, it is applied to the socket of the extracted tooth. After 3-5 minutes, the bleeding stops, the sponge is saturated with blood and fits tightly to the edges of the wound. If bleeding continue, it is recommended to place another one on top of the first sponge. After the bleeding has completely stopped, the sponge must be secured using a U-shaped suture. To enhance therapeutic effect Wetting the sponge with a thrombin solution is indicated.

The use of Alvostaz alveolar compresses has its own characteristics. Before using them, the wound is cleaned with warm saline, after which the doctor suctions it out with a pipette. The contents of the bottle with Alvostaz are applied to the wound in the gum, and then pressed down with a piece of sterile gauze for several minutes. If necessary, a gauze swab is left in the hole, but not longer than a day.

The doctor must warn the patient that the gauze should not be removed - after a while it will be rejected on its own. If tissue damage is severe, it may be necessary to repeatedly replace the tampon.

A hemostatic sponge is an antihemorrhagic agent (i.e., hemostatic) intended for local application. Available in the form of plates 7 mm thick in two sizes - 50x50 mm and 90x90 mm.

Pharmacological action of the hemostatic sponge

The hemostatic collagen sponge consists of a solution of collagen, which is obtained from the naked split of cattle hides, boric acid and furatsilin.

The drug is a porous dry mass yellow color, having a faint odor of acetic acid. The hemostatic sponge perfectly absorbs liquids, swelling slightly and increasing in size. The drug is insoluble in water and organic solvents, and is resistant to temperatures not exceeding 75 o C. If the sponge gets into a humid environment with more high temperature its concentration and dissolution occurs.

According to the instructions, the hemostatic sponge affects the blood clotting system, as well as the process of tissue regeneration. When applied to a wound, the product is completely absorbed. When the sponge comes into contact with a surface that is bleeding, platelet aggregation and adhesion occurs, which leads to the rapid cessation of capillary-parenchymal bleeding.

The collagen in the hemostatic sponge is biodegradable, that is, gradually absorbed in the human body over 4-6 weeks. This allows the drug to be installed directly at the site of use without subsequent removal. The products of collagen lysis (biodegradation) affect wound repair processes - they stimulate them, which accelerates the wound healing process.

Boric acid and furatsilin contained in the hemostatic collagen sponge have antimicrobial and antiseptic effects.

After the sponge is saturated with blood, it fits tightly to the wound.

To close areas of the liver or gallbladder bed after cholecystectomy, a sponge must be placed in the damaged cavity. If the effect is not achieved, you can apply a second layer of hemostatic sponge. After the bleeding has stopped, the sponge should be secured with a U-shaped suture.

In order to stop bleeding from the vascular suture, the bleeding site can be covered with a sponge. After the bleeding has stopped, there is no need to remove the drug, since the sponge is completely absorbed.

The amount of sponge used and the size are selected in accordance with the volume of the cavity and the parameters of the surface being treated.

Victoria: The child came from kindergarten and when talking with him, I heard some nasality in his voice. It turned out that his nose started bleeding during the day and the teacher put a hemostatic sponge in his nose. Indeed, by evening the child was breathing normally and upon examination nothing foreign was found in the nasal cavity. An interesting drug. Although I had no idea about its existence before.

Marina: Not long ago I found myself in a rather ridiculous situation when my elderly mother started bleeding from the nasal cavity, and everything I knew to help in this situation did not work. I had to resort to calling an ambulance. The brigade arrived only twenty-five minutes later. During this time, the woman lost a lot of blood, and I myself was not in the best condition. The nurse calmly rolled up a small swab and placed it right on mom’s nose. A few minutes later the blood calmed down and they showed me our savior in the form of a collagen sponge and taught me how to use it.
